A lot of people here talk about "garnering respect" from their wives, by a Man... I'd be curious how one delineates "controlling" from "boundaries" I've struggled with this along my journey as I know my wife would say that I was someone that had to be in control of most aspects in our lives.
So how does one garner the respect without appearing to be controlling? (Sandi hoping you'll chime in on this one ;-)
Boundaries are for YOU. Control is for another person.
Ask yourself, "What's my motivation?" and you have to be HONEST about it. If you find yourself justifying questionable behavior (behavior that can go either way or is in that "gray area"), that is a red flag that your mind is trying trick you into doing something that doesn't align with your goals.
